- Surface Preparation
Helmibond 6502 Wall Base Adhesive should only be applied to structurally sound surfaces, such as plaster, dry wall, plywood, paneling, and fully cured masonry surfaces. Surface must be clean, dry, and free from any dust, wax, grease, loose paint or plaster, or any residual adhesive, etc. that may prevent a proper bond. Plaster, cement, or similar surfaces must be thoroughly cured and dry prior to application. Do not install over vinyl wallcovering and other non-porous surfaces, which may prevent appropriate curing and adhesion.
